My app generates information from textfields to a uitextview, i was wondering how i could send this information on a email when the user clicks a button.
The mail application should open and it will have the contents of the uitextview in the body of the email.
Many Thanks
You have to do it with MFMailComposeViewController. Here's the code:
MFMailComposeViewController *composer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[composer setMailComposeDelegate:self];
[composer setSubject:#"My Subject"];
[composer setMessageBody:#"Email Body" isHTML:YES];
[self presentModalViewController:composer animated:YES];
[composer release];
Just replace #"My Subject" with your real subject and #"Email Body" with your TextView's contents. You can also set To, Cc and Bcc fields and add some attachments via this class.
You can also check if app can send an email by using:
[MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail];
E.g. if user didn't configure his email accounts, this function will return NO.
More info about sending emails from your app you can find in MFMailComposeViewController Class Reference.

I want to send email without showing MFMailComposeViewController. I just want to send email to some sequence of emails (so user should see only my spinner, not MFMailComposeViewController with send button).
The only way to send emails I know is: (but it's not I want)
-(void)showMessageController:(id)sender
{
Class mailClass = (NSClassFromString(#"MFMailComposeViewController"));
if (mailClass != nil)
{
// We must always check whether the current device is configured for sending emails
if ([mailClass canSendMail])
{
[self displayComposerSheet];
}
else
{
[self launchMailAppOnDevice];
}
}
else
{
[self launchMailAppOnDevice];
}
}
// Displays an email composition interface inside the application. Populates all the Mail fields.
-(void)displayComposerSheet
{
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[appDelegate setNavigationBarTextured:YES navigationBar:picker.navigationBar];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"Please, look at my photo!"];
// Attach an image to the email (mydata - data of the image)
[picker addAttachmentData:myData mimeType:#"image/png" fileName:#"photo"];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody = #"Hello!\nPlease, have a look at my photo!";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
// Launches the Mail application on the device.
-(void)launchMailAppOnDevice
{
// NSString *recipients = #"mailto:first#example.com?cc=second#example.com,third#example.com&subject=Hello from California!";
NSString *recipients = #"mailto:subject=Please, look at my photo!";
NSString *body = #"&body=Hello!\nPlease, have a look at my photo!";
NSString *email = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", recipients, body];
email = [email stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:email]];
}
How can I send email without additional screen of MFMailComposeViewController?
Thank you in advance!
You can do it by Web services. Write a web service that takes message for Email body and receiver's email address, subject etc as parameters and sends mail from backend.
You can create PHP script to send email and can call the php service call with To, Message, Subject passed from device,
There is no API provided by Apple that would let you send emails without user interaction.
I have app that user contact me
The problem is that the users can put any email address, but I want to lock or do something to setToRecipients so that user can't make any change in this field.
Here is my code
MFMailComposeViewController *composer = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
[composer setMailComposeDelegate:self];
if ([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) {
[composer setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"123#abc.com", nil]];
[composer setSubject:#"subject here"];
[composer setMessageBody:#"message here" isHTML:NO];
[composer setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[self presentModalViewController:composer animated:YES];
[composer release];
}
Any help or guide !!
thanx & regards
You can't as MFMailComposeViewController does not provide that functionality.
By the look of it, you can't. And the reason is that apple has safety protection to ensure you app doesn't auto send spam emails, in their point of view, it's the user should always have flexibility to choose where the email goes to.
How can I add video/image/audio as an attachment programmatically in the email in iPhone app iPhone and how can I add Signature? I think it can be done by using html tags but how it can be done. Can you please any sample code for this.
Thanks-
To send attachments: You can use MFMailComposeViewController to send attachments from your app.
1. Add MessageUI framework, and do #import <MessageUI/MFMailComposeViewController.h>
2. In your email button action or however you are sending email, add :
if([MFMailComposeViewController canSendMail]) //IMPORTANT: check if mail can be sent to avoid crash
{
MFMailComposeViewController*mailController=[[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
NSURL*yourUrl=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:yourFilePath];
NSData*attachData=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:yourUrl];
mailController.mailComposeDelegate=self;
[mailController addAttachmentData:attachData mimeType:#"yourExtension" fileName:#"yourFileName.yourExtension"];
[mailController setSubject:#"Test Subject"];
[mailController setTitle:#"Test Title"];
if(mailController!=nil)
{
[self presentModalViewController:mailController animated:YES];
}
[mailController release];
}
else //give a prompt showing no mail accounts found
{
UIAlertView*emailAlert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"No Email Account Found." message:#"Please set an email account." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[emailAlert show];
[emailAlert release];
}
To set signature: I guess it uses the signature relative to the mail account that has been set. Sorry no idea on how to change it programmatically.
I want to send mail from my custom iPhone app. I have used MFMailComposeViewController to send mail from my iphone in my previous app. Now, i don't want to show the MFMailComposeViewController to the user, if they click Send Mail button the mail automatically send to the recipient mail address. How can i do this? Can you please help me on this? Thanks in advance.
I have used below code to show the MFMailComposeViewController,
MFMailComposeViewController *controller = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
controller.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[controller setSubject:#"Details"];
[controller setMessageBody:#"Hi" isHTML:NO];
[controller setToRecipients:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"abcd.m#gmail.com", nil]];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
Sending emails programmatically, without user intervention, from an iphone application, cannot be implemented using any of the Apple frameworks. It could be possible in a jailbroken phone but then it would never see the inside of App Store.
If you want control of email sending, then a better way would be to set up a web service (at your server end) you can post to using an HTTP request. If you are posting to only one address this can work very well, although you may want to get the user to input their return mail address.
Otherwise only the standard dialog is available (this relies on using whatever account they've setup on the device).
The iOS SDK has made it really easy to send email using the built-in APIs. With a few line of codes, you can launch the same email interface as the stock Mail app that lets you compose an email. You can pop up mail composer form , write message and can send plain mail or file attached mail using MFMailComposeViewController class. For more info : Sending e-mail from your iOS App
But, in this section what i am going to explain is about sending emails without showing the mail composer sheet ie. sending emails in background. For this feature, we can not use iOS native MFMailComposer class because it does not allow us to send emails in background instead it pop ups the mail composer view from where user have to tap "send" button , so for this section i am going to use SKPSMTPMessage Library to send emails in background, however email account has to be hardcoded on this method.
Limitations :
sender/receiver email address has to be hardcoded or you have to grab it using some pop up form in your app where user inputs sender/receiver email address. In addition, sender account credentials has to be also hardcoded since there is no way we can grab it from device settings.
Method :
Import CFNetwork.framework to your project.
Include #import "SKPSMTPMessage.h"
#import "NSData+Base64Additions.h" // for Base64 encoding
Include to your ViewController
Download SKPSMTPMessage library from
https://github.com/jetseven/skpsmtpmessage
Drag and Drop "SMTPLibrary" folder you have downloaded to your project.
Before proceeding, let you know that i am using sender/receiver email address and sender password hardcoded in the code for this example.But, you may grab this credentials from user, allowing them to input in some sort of forms(using UIViews).
-(void) sendEmailInBackground {
NSLog(#"Start Sending");
SKPSMTPMessage *emailMessage = [[SKPSMTPMessage alloc] init];
emailMessage.fromEmail = #"sender#gmail.com"; //sender email address
emailMessage.toEmail = #"receiver#gmail.com"; //receiver email address
emailMessage.relayHost = #"smtp.gmail.com";
//emailMessage.ccEmail =#"your cc address";
//emailMessage.bccEmail =#"your bcc address";
emailMessage.requiresAuth = YES;
emailMessage.login = #"sender#gmail.com"; //sender email address
emailMessage.pass = #"Passwxxxx"; //sender email password
emailMessage.subject =#"#"email subject header message";
emailMessage.wantsSecure = YES;
emailMessage.delegate = self; // you must include <SKPSMTPMessageDelegate> to your class
NSString *messageBody = #"your email body message";
//for example : NSString *messageBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Tour Name: %#\nName: %#\nEmail: %#\nContact No: %#\nAddress: %#\nNote: %#",selectedTour,nameField.text,emailField.text,foneField.text,addField.text,txtView.text];
// Now creating plain text email message
NSDictionary *plainMsg = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"text/plain",kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey, messageBody,kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey,#"8bit",kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey,nil];
emailMessage.parts = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:plainMsg,nil];
//in addition : Logic for attaching file with email message.
/*
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"filename" ofType:#"JPG"];
NSData *fileData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
NSDictionary *fileMsg = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"text/directory;\r\n\tx- unix-mode=0644;\r\n\tname=\"filename.JPG\"",kSKPSMTPPartContentTypeKey,#"attachment;\r\n\tfilename=\"filename.JPG\"",kSKPSMTPPartContentDispositionKey,[fileData encodeBase64ForData],kSKPSMTPPartMessageKey,#"base64",kSKPSMTPPartContentTransferEncodingKey,nil];
emailMessage.parts = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:plainMsg,fileMsg,nil]; //including plain msg and attached file msg
*/
[emailMessage send];
// sending email- will take little time to send so its better to use indicator with message showing sending...
}
Now, handling delegate methods :
// On success
-(void)messageSent:(SKPSMTPMessage *)message{
NSLog(#"delegate - message sent");
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Message sent." message:nil delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
}
// On Failure
-(void)messageFailed:(SKPSMTPMessage *)message error:(NSError *)error{
// open an alert with just an OK button
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error!" message:[error localizedDescription] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles: nil];
[alert show];
NSLog(#"delegate - error(%d): %#", [error code], [error localizedDescription]);
}
Ok, thats all from the coding side. hope this tutorial may find useful for you guyz
I usually use the below code to allow the user to submit feedback on my apps. However for some reason in my OpenGL app the below code has a problem. It opens the email form correctly, however the form is locked - i.e the user can't actually edit the body of the text. Can anybody spot why this is happening ?
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#"Feedback on Stop That Bomb Free !"];
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"anemail#gmail.com"];
[picker setToRecipients:toRecipients];
// Fill out the email body text
NSString *emailBody =
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hi Martin, I would like to make the following comment : "];
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];
picker.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
[inputController presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
From reading your code I can find some things you should change:
Replace:
NSString *emailBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hi Martin, I would like to make the following comment : "];
With:
NSString *emailBody = #"Hi Martin, I would like to make the following comment : ";
As you are not using any formatting; you dont need to call the class method to create the simple string.
The other thing you can change is the fact that you message does not contain HTML.
So you dont need isHTML:YES.
I have tested this successfully on a sample app.
I imagine the problem is with the view controller presenting the view, rather than the messageUI view.
